The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has threatened legal action against the state of California regarding claims of noncitizen voting. The DOJ is demanding that California election officials immediately review a list of potential noncitizens and isolate any mail-in ballots submitted by them. This demand requires a review within a 48-hour timeframe. The request focuses on identifying and segregating ballots potentially cast by individuals not eligible to vote. The DOJ has not disclosed the source of the list or the number of voters it contains. California officials have yet to publicly respond to the DOJ’s demands, but the situation signals a potential legal battle over election integrity. The move comes amidst heightened scrutiny of voting procedures nationwide.
